I've seen it happen, and my school is definitely not SEC, nor is is super competitive.
But in the not making quota scenario, there is the possibility of snap bidding women (which I know I read happened this fall) or doing COR or COB if not making quota fell into smaller numbers and members can bring women in they already know. For large chapters where paying the bills isn't a problem since not all women can live in not making quota may not be the worst thing if there aren't other factors at play like a large graduating senior class and a group of women studying abroad or doing internships. This may be an opportune time to pick up women members know or even transfer students, the kind of women a colony would select who are around but for whatever reason never joined.
